I don't have a recipe in my I can share, but I can give you a tip. pick a couple of recipes from a cook book. Then pick one day where you will have a bit of free time, and dedicate that time to making large portions of food. Just double the recipe in a cook book if you need to. if you don't have any cook books, borrow one from a friend or go to a library and take on out. Or if you want to spend money on one, a great recipe book is "1000 vegan recipe". It is a great book and it is massive. you will bound to find something in there. As a university student, my life gets really busy, and then when you have work on top of that it can even become more busy. I normally just do what I have suggested, and it works pretty well for me. I make good meals, all home made and it is varied every week.

What do you guys think of Heartland Gold ~ Brown Rice Protein 800g - Unflavoured ? It is a sprouted brown rice protein and it has no artificial colours, flavors, sweetners or preservatives. and is non GMO it has 80% protein the only ingredients are : Organic compliant, sprouted, non-GMO, Brown Rice Protein concentrate. It has 16 grams of protein per 20g (1 scoop) IMO I think it is ok. It seems pretty clean cause I was looking for a more "natural protein" with no artificial colours, flavors, sweetners, and preservatives and is GMO free. But my only problem is that it does not seem to dissolve well in water and I feel like I am drinking tiny crystals sometimes, it foams a lot, and does not taste that good. But maybe that is a sign that it is "natural". as far a protein supplements goes anyways what do you guys think of it? do you think it is worth money? Who uses (or have used) this protein before? Who likes it and why? who does not like it and why?

I have 2 questions 1. How much carbs and protein is there in 1 cup of sprouted buckwheat? 2. Are there any natural after shaves with no chemicals, or preservatives, or colors out there? If so, what are the names of it and where can I find it?

Ah. Ok... Thanks for the info. I thought that If I were to just have protein powder with out the water it would be fine. But if there is a negative impact on protein powder with out water then I will start drinking it with water.

How much calories, protein and carbs per 1 cup of _____________ is there? quinoa wheat berries buckwheat amaranth brown rice wild rice teff Barley Bulgur Farro Cornmeal Hominy Kumut Millet Steel cut Oats Rye Sorghum Spelt Triticale Once you say how much calories, protein, and carbs content in the grains, can you tell me where you got your source please? Thank you for your time

Do you need to have water with Soy protein? or Hemp Protein? Or any other type of protein powder? If so, how much water do you need for it? And why do you need water for Protein powder? Thank you for your time

I usually have a protein shake consisting of 12.5 grams of protein with 60 grams of carbs. those 60 grams being from high glycemic level to low glycemic level. An hour after that I have a protein bar that I make and it has about 20-25 grams of protein and a lot of carbs (I forgot the number). I herd somewhere that having to much protein after a work out slows down the body recovery so the carb to protein ration is 4:1. (4) being the carb. (1) being the protein. (If it was not obvious). Also, I herd that you want as little fat as possible (Even the good kind). Supposedly this ratio helps speed up recovery for the body So...When I look at VEGA :complete whole food Health Optimizer, which I bought the other day. It has 26 grams of protein per 1 serving. and 17 grams of carbs. And it has 5% fat per serving....So...This would not be the ideal protein shake after a work out. Right? What are some of the bodybuilding buffs have after a work out? I am trying to gain weight through weightlifting and increasing muscle mass but at the same time I want my body to recover as fast as possible. Re cab on questions 1. Is Vega:Complete whole food Health Optimizer good for a "After workout" protein shake? 2. What are the bodybuilding buffs having after their work out? Thank you for your time

So, I am hearing a lot about eating before bed is not good for the body. Something about blood being in the stomach to digest the food where it should be in the brain. So... If eating before bed is not good for the body, or sleep quality, any recommendations when one should eat before going to bed? I am trying to gain weight through weight lifting and building muscle, and so I eat roughly 2-3 hours. Thank you for your time.

But what about other foods high in fiber? Like carrots? or other bean sources. I believe it must be the processing of the Soybean that is giving me gas. I am fine with bean sources that are just beans and have not been processed in any way, but with Soy protein...I think it is different. Any ways, thank you all for your comments ^_^ `````...wait...carrots are high in fiber?......I can't remember......lol.....```````

Is it possible for Soy Protein to give gas? The soy protein I use is from the brand name "Genisoy" its ingredients is -Soy protein isolate -Soy Fibre -Rice Flour -Flavours per one scoop i get 25 grams of protein. I just started using this about a week and a half ago, and I have notice a bit of gas from me sadly... It is the only thing that is really new that I have incorporated into my diet. So...does Soy protein give gas? Has any one else experience this? Thanks for your time

how many pounds a week should a beginner gain through weight lifting? I want to gain muscle, and I just started 3 weeks ago. Thanks for your time

Ah...I see. I have been avoiding soy products for the main reason of... I am hearing 2 sides of a story. Soy is good, Soy is bad - sort of deal. Because of that, I avoid it...But I am thinking of considering the use of soy products if it will really help me. So, then, what are some good soy products I could eat that are high in protein and low in carbs and fat? Are they cheap and affordable for someone who has a low budget like myself? Would soybeans be a really good choice? Also, what are some good vegan protein powder for after a workout?

Anyone else who do not use protein powders, and supplements in the vegan diet for building muscle and gaining weight? If yes, please evaluate, if no, that's cool I don't use protein powders or supplements or soy products. I find it hard to get my protein with out exceeding my calorie intake. I don't know how to get food with high protein content and low carb and fat content. I've done a lot of research...but Still, to no avail. I am at a bit of a loss. What is a good % of protein, carbs, and fat in a food product? cheers ps*I've posted a similar post like this, but I think I am being more specific with this one. If not, I apologize.

Thanks, but I have another question, -how does one determine the volume of % of carbs, fat, and protein in food (example, the Almonds example you gave to me)

So, I am 124lb and I want to weight 150 pounds. So I am trying to gain weight through strength training. I just converted into Vegan about 3 months ago, and just started training regulary again 2 weeks ago. according to a article I read http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/sculpt_rock_hard_abs/ It states that if I want to weight 150lb I need to consume around 1950 calories a day. (I exercise 4 times a week). You take 1 hour of exercise a day and then add it to 10. So since I work out 4 times a week, it would be 13. Multiply 13 by the weight you wish to have (which is 150 in my case) and I get 1950 calories For protein I need 150 grams of protein a day (600 calories from protein) For fat I need 75 grams of fat a day (675 calories from fat) For Carbs I need about 168.75 grams a day (675 calories from carbs) So, if I were to divide this into 6 meals... I would get 325 calories per meal 25g of protein per meal 12.5g of fat per meal 33.75g of carbs per meal but...here is the problem. If I want to get 25 grams of protein per meal the calories go over board! For example... 1 cup of Romain lettuce 1/2 cup quinoa 1/4 cup of almonds 1/2 banana 1tbsp of ground flax seed blend it all up for a smoothie and... I am looking at about 700 something calories 23 grams of protein 77 something carbs So as you can see, I did not even make it to 25 grams of protein and I consumed roughly about 700 in something calories. And A lot of my meals are like that. When Ever I try to shoot for 25 grams of protein per meal I usually wind up with more calories then what I should be eating. I don't eat any soy products and I don't have any hemp protein, and my budget is not the greatest. I want to avoid things like soy, and protein powders. Are there any whole food (Raw as well) that is low in calories but high in protein? I have been using Hemp seeds a lot... but it seems that they are really high in calories as well. per 4 tbsp of hemp seeds I get 15 grams of protein and 240 grams of calories I realize the protein makes up about 4 grams of calories per 1 gram of protein and fat is 9 grams of calories per 1 gram of fat and carbs is 4 grams of calories per 1 gram of carb. So my questions again -Are there any whole foods(Raw as well) that is low in calories, but high in protein and that are healthy as well? No soy products or protein powder please (Unless there are no other options) Thanks for your time

So, usually I wake up in the morning and have a green smoothie that consist of 1-2 cups Romain leaves 4 tbsp hemp seeds 1 tbsp flax 1 banana 5-6 dates 1 cup of water. which in total is about 21 grams protein, 632.84 calories, and 58.83 carbs Then I wait for one hour, and then go to the gym and train. - My question is, Is it a good Idea or a bad Idea to have this amount of protein, calories, and carbs before strength training? I figure if all of it was process in a smoothie like form, it would be easier for my body to digest and it would help with my training. OH! I have another question too, -What is the protein to carbs ratio? is it 1 protein to 4 carbs (1:4)? or 1 protein to 3 carbs(1:3)? Thanks for your time
